So some how Kahtrell has picked up a coupld naughty words (I'm thinking from the ILs as DP and I very rarely swear......I mean I still spell the words out rather than say them lmfao). Anywhos every so often I'll hear a little......"oh sh!t" or "f**K". Reprimanding him for saying it makes it worse..and he'll constantly repeat it! if I tell him not too.
Any suggestions??. At the mo I'm trying to divert him by saying another word when he swears.....sometimes he'll say "oh gosh"...so I guess that's something!!...just gotta keep at it. -------------

Oh its a tricky time! The other day I had a cyclist cut across in front of the car and said 's*#t very loudly and then heard "s*#t!' repeated several times in a very cute sing songy voice from the back.
I find ignoring it works quite well, they are looking for a reaction after all. And then model using an appropriate word in front of him. We were allowed to say 'drat' when we were kids. |

We weren't allowed to say "sucks"...... ie "homework sucks"

so we get it fairly often. When she says it I say something about blue knickers and she happily goes off repeating thatPosted By: 11111

lol, yea I'm trying to ignore it, or say another word to try and send him in a different direction!!, works about half of the time. Hard not to laugh though cos though it's naughty it sounds cute lolz. Just fingers crossed he doesn't say it at daycare! -------------

| When Belle started saying "oh sh*t" we switched to saying "Oh Dear!" very theatrically. She loved it and switched to that instead. |
